It's been about a year since Intel launched its sixth generation of Core CPUs for desktop and laptop PCs; you might have already heard of them as the Skylake family. Today, Skylake is being succeeded by Kaby Lake — the seventh iteration of Core, with a bunch of optimisations to future-proof PCs of today for the 4K video and computing of tomorrow. First off the blocks are new energy-efficient mobile chips, with desktop and performance CPUs due in January of next year.

Intel's new hardcore overclocking CPUs can hit some amazing core speeds with a cheap air or water-cooling system. They're built for speed, and unlocked to achieve those figures easily if you have the interest and technical know-how. One point of order, though — if you're buying a new top of the line Core i5 or Core i7, you won't get a cooler in the box.

Have you been putting off building a new hardcore gaming PC? Well, wait no more. Intel has two new processors, aimed at hardcore overclockers and the gaming super-elite, for you to drool over, and they're out right now.

Apple's brought both sizes of the MacBook Air line straight up to what you'd expect from a laptop in 2011, adding a Thunderbolt port, but more importantly some sweet Sandy Bridge i5 and i7 chips — and backlit keyboards.

>Digital Storm has unveiled their latest line of custom gaming PCs, which employs theSub-Zero Liquid Chilled System, allowing for Intel Core i7 processors to be overclocked at a blazing 4.6 gigahertz while remaining at an icy 0ºC.

This is the Grape-DR, a supercomputer housed in the Department of Information Science at the University of Tokyo. It has 64 Intel Core i7-920 processors and an accelerator chip that can achieve 200 gigaflops with a lightbulb's worth of power.

Dell's Alienware M11x already offered up some potent graphics, especially for a laptop of its size. Now - just a few months after release - the M11x is getting a Core i7 CPU upgrade that makes it a powerhouse in every sense.

Intel expanded its processor family today with six new chips, each designed to make ultraportable notebooks thinner, lighter and more efficient. We're talking laptops less than an inch thick with Core i7 inside. That's just beautiful.

Some leaks happen in secret, on the phone or behind closed doors. Others, like this little HP one today, happen in service manuals. What we know: As the headline implies new Core i5 and Core i7 mobile processors are coming.

Toshiba's gone crazy with Intel's latest Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, adding them to the Blu-ray playin' Satellite A660, C650, L650 and L670. Sadly there's no 13-inch options with the new chips, a decision Apple made with the MacBook Pros.

With swirling rumours all but pointing to an April 13 refresh of Apple's MacBook Pro line, these new model numbers, spotted at MicroCenter, lend further credence to the belief that an update is imminent.
